Gigabyte Rolls Out First Moblin Device
Posted by Sam Churchill on November 28th, 2008Intel’s open source Moblin platform is beginning to ship on consumer electronics products. The Linux-based platform is designed specifically for mobile Internet devices that use Intel’s Atom processor.
Gigabyte is preparing to release the M528, its first Moblin-based device, next week in Taipei. It has an 800Mhz Atom processor, 4GB internal storage, 512MB of RAM, a 3MP camera, and a 4.8-inch LCD touchscreen that supports a resolution of 800×480. It also has support for WiFi and 3G connectivity.
IDG reports that the product will be available for NT$12,900 (US$386) with a 2-year 3G service contract at Chunghwa stores in Taiwan. The device will face strong competition from Apple’s 3G iPhone, which is also set to launch through Chunghwa next month.
Gigabyte’s M700 features a 7” LED backlight display and an Express Card slot that supports both HSPDA and WiMAX.
